All it took for three bodies to be flung to the ground, lifeless.
The blood-curdling screams from his friends rang constantly throughout his mind.

“Heh. Fools. You call yourself the Warriors of Light? You’re merely lambs, lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the name of His Majesty.”

His hands trembled in fear, unable to grip the cold, blood-stained floorboards of the Grandship.
Unable to register what had happened. Unable to breathe.

A mocking laughter bellowed from the monstrous pupa-like fiend, dark, hollow eyes that stared into him. Piercing dark eyes, eyes that for a time back then he thought might’ve been innocent. A pure cryst-fairy who guided the wind-vestal. Perhaps, even a friend.

“Oh? What’s the matter? You look

HIs true name.
The name carried by a man of solemn morals and unfaltering loyalty.
A man who suffered grave injuries from falling into a hellish pit of lava, due to a misunderstanding with his angel, Edea Lee.
A man who wore jet-black armour and wielded a blade of sheer darkness, holding the title of the Dark Knight, his powers unleashing through inner hatred and bitter blackness.
Alternis

“Well? What are you going to do now, dark knight?” the menacing pupa spat.
Did he want to witness his friends potentially die yet another tragic fate in another world?
Relive the nightmare that was now a cruel reality?
He didn’t want to see them suffer.

Ringabel stumbled upwards on shaky legs, one hand placed on the wooden pillar he had just crashed into. Looking out to the sea, he saw the blinding holy pillar, the pillar that warped his time as Alternis into two worlds ahead, the world where he had met his precious allies.
Glancing over to the left, he saw an area of normal, dark water- a patch that was not connected with the time travelling portal.
Clenching his fists and taking a few unsteady, deep breaths, he made his way over to the side of the Grandship near the safety railings.

“Sorry, for failing you…” he murmured glancing back quickly at the fallen corpses of his friends.
“There’s.. nothing left to do now…” he sighed, burning tears quickly making an escape. Feeling the heavy swell of the boat and the crash of the strong waves, he counted six seconds, waiting for the moment where the Grandship was moving downwards.

Then, there was a splash, followed by a long, eerie:

    In this passage from page 203 of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses literal and figurative imagery to create a frightening mood as the Finches confront an angry lynch mob. Scout describes the angry lynch mob as “dark smelly bodies”(203) as she was trying to get to Atticus. The image of “dark smelly bodies”(203) conveys a sense of olfaction, because Scout shows that the mob didn’t seem like actual people because she just calls them bodies, detaching them from their humanity. Scout also describes the olfaction of the jail as “a smell of stale whiskey and pigpen”(203). This description shows that most of the men in the lynch mob were drunk and not thinking straight, they weren’t themselves. Scout also shows how frightened Atticus…

    The tent was faint, the light inside was growing dim. The flap outside flung about quickly. The high winds began to pierce all skin except of that of the tent. The man stayed a few steps away from the tent. It stood in front of him, with its one eye staring back. The knight knew not of what he did. He just stood there wondering how he got there. His gloves hidden under his cloak of fur. His hair being cut by the wind.…

    But not so fair that I could avoid fear at the sight of a lion, that appeared, and seemed to come at me, with raised head and rabid hunger, so that it seemed the air itself was afraid; and a she-wolf that looked full of craving in its leanness, and, before now, has made many men live in sadness. She brought me such heaviness of fear, from the aspect of her face, that I lost all hope of ascending. And as one who is eager for gain, weeps, and is afflicted in his thoughts, if the moment arrives when he loses, so that creature, without rest, made me like him: and coming at me, little by little, drove me back to where the sun is…
